Citroen shows off Technospace MPV

Citroen has showcased the outline of its new Technospace compact multi-purpose vehicle at a major car event in Europe.

The proposed MPV, on display at theGeneva Motor Show , features the firm's Efficient Modular Platform 2, allowing for a lighter 98g/km emissions performance.

Being a relatively large model, measuring 4.43 metres in length, it comes with a big HD screen, at 12 inches-wide. Its boot boasts a capacity of 537 litres when the back seats are sitting normally, similar to the large space offered by the Seat Toledo and the Skoda Rapid models.

But the Technospace's higher driver-sitting position is thought to be its defining advantage over other MPVs.

Citroen says that unless public feedback is poor, a fuller production version will be revealed later in the year.
